Cedar Mundi Ventures

Profile

Cedar Mundi Ventures (“CMV”) is a Lebanese venture capital firm investing in international technology startups, having substantial economic presence in Lebanon and growth opportunities in the Middle East.


We invest, or co-invest alongside key European / US VC firms, in Series-A, -B and -C of mid- to late-stage technology startups.


We reach out to our European tech networks, and to the Lebanese Diaspora in particular, to bring to the region best-in-class technology startups founded or led by Lebanese entrepreneurs or friends abroad, seeking expansion capital and hands-on support from our corporate resources to access the Middle East markets.


We indeed believe the Middle East offers tremendous growth opportunities for digital technology, which are best accessed from Lebanon as a regional tech hub, where innovative startups benefit from a cost-efficient, multicultural and tech-savvy workforce.
